Added 2025-06-27 22:47:59 +0000 UTC

Hey Besties Patreon supporters, it’s Plante! Normally, this feed is limited to The Besties and The Resties, but today (just this once) I’m uploading a bonus episode. Don’t worry, you’ll still get your guaranteed Besties and Resties content this month too – this is just a little something extra.

You have probably already heard that I have a new podcast. Post Games is a weekly audio magazine, each episode mixing essays and interviews to explore an interesting corner of video games. What’s up with all those porn games on Steam? What happens when you win indie gaming’s most prestigious award?

This week, I’ve put together a special episode on Death Stranding with special guest Dunkey. It can keep you company as you hike through Kojima’s latest masterpiece.

The Besties encouraged me to share it with y’all. Here’s what you’ll find inside:

Act 1: Dunkey on his love/hate relationship with Death Stranding, life as YouTube game critic, and the power of changing your mind

A bonus act for Patreon subscribers: Dunkey on video game critics and criticism

Act 2: A "guide" to Death Stranding 2’s big, weird ideas

Act 3: The news of the week, including one gaming CEO’s flabbergasting pay

This is the special Patreon version of the episode. For $5, subscribers get bonus segments in every episode — and none of the ads! They also have access to a monthly video series, receive new episodes days before the ad-supported feed, and ensure the show stays alive! Now available: the first video in the Video Game Journalism 101 series!

Or you can listen for free on Apple Podcasts / Spotify / RSS.

And last but not least: To the folks who already support both Besties and Post Games, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
